Eternal Beginner - Fat Loss I/II

Purchase · 05-26-2009, 12:47 AM

Hi,

I'm taking a week off after 4 weeks of the break in program and am looking ahead to what's to come next as an eternal beginner. I've a query about how to go about Fat Loss I and II:

Under the description of programs to follow for the eternal beginner, the instructions for Fat Loss I and II are: "Three workouts a week for six weeks", a total of 18 workouts.

The description for these two programs, however, suggests to "do each of the two workouts six times", a total of 12 workouts.

I'm curious how people approached this discrepancy. My guess is that I should do 18 workouts and increase the number of workouts usings sets/reps of 3/15, 3/12, and 3/10 from 2 to 3.

Or would people doing 3 workouts a week just do Fat Loss I and II for a total of 4 weeks?

Thanks

Do each workout 6 times......however long that takes you.

My NROL copy says FLI and FLII are 3 times a week for 4 weeks for the Eternal beginner (p. 193). I have the soft cover.

I am going to do both workouts 6 times each.

Yeah I remember being confused about this when I first read the book. I ended up doing 3 workouts a week for 4 weeks (12 workouts). I believe the 6 weeks figure in the eternal beginner program was a typo.

check the NROL FAQ about post #18 & #19 and the thread linked from there.
The general agreement is that the intention is twice through each rep range for a total of 12 times, but that a real beginner might want to go 3 times through each rep range.
